Wanna Nails enables people to try-on nail polish in augmented reality. Our app helps to experiment with the selection of color or a combination of colors depending on the lighting, skin color and style. Computer vision algorithms provide realistic colors and shades.

Launching soon!
Chris, thank you for hunting Wanna Nails! Hi Product Hunters, I’m Yury, founding investor and mentor of Wanna Nails, former investor and co-founder of Fabby and maps.me. We created an app that enables people to try-on and buy nail polish in augmented reality. It turned to be lots of fun working on transferring natural colors, textures and lighting. This, we hope, will contribute to building augmented reality that will look pretty close to real life. This app joins global digital beauty & AR commerce movement and we believe it will empower large companies and independent entrepreneurs to use AR-tools to communicate with consumers directly and get real-time feedback on new products. We’d appreciate your feedback!

Well this certainly beats holding the bottle to my nails and trying to imagine if thw colour would suit me! Do you plan to partner with beauty brands at some point? Would be great to hear more about where you're taking Wanna Nails in future 💅🏼 @darya_sesitskaya @melnichek @arseny_info

@melnichek @arseny_info @abadesi Abadesi, thank you so much for your kind words and your support! We believe AR will radically change interactions between the product and the user and will bring a deeper sense of connection with the brand. Large players in e-commerce and retail, such as Amazon, IKEA, L'Oreal, and Zara have already made trial projects in AR. This is just the beginning of a large AR-Commerce industry. Users would always be first for us, and for their convenience we are already working on collaborations with the most popular nail brands and manufacturers. Maybe you have someone in mind? We are always open for new connections. Anybody can shoot us an e-mail at hi@wanna.by for future collaboration!

This is one way to break into a saturated market, unique innovation and flawless cross marketing feature, giving customers the ability to share their desired colored nails even before they buy (on amazon) is absolutely cool. Best of luck

Pros:

Creative and engaging

Cons:

None

Hi Mahmood, I can't deny I'm pleased to hear it! Thank you for your support! Happy to be building a product that offers engaging and fun user experience.

Waited so long for an opportunity to try on manicure virtually. And it's free and works great!

Pros:

First of it's kind manicure AR try on, good color transfer, ability to buy polishers instantly

Cons:

No boomerang for sharing yet. Hopefully it would be added in a few weeks

Katherina, thank you so much! And yep! So we're currently unlocking boomerang and another interesting video features. So within a few weeks we should have everything unlocked. This is definitely our goal!

Guys, your product looks great! Congratulations! Minsk is on fire! :) What are your next steps? Do you have a working business model?

@dmitry_ovod_marchuk Hi Dmitry, Thanks for your support and feedback. Minsk is kicking it 🙂 We now operate as an AR-showcase of goods from Amazon and AliExpress and we put a lot of effort in grouping goods in collections based on fashion trends, price, and quality together with our shopping expert. WANNA NAILS is getting commission after each purchase is being made and our team is currently working on new monetization models.

What is next? :)

Need improve quality!

Thanks Aleksej! We know there are several more improvements we need - e.g. results are not satisfactory when the illumination is poor. Also we'd like to transfer our prototypes on sophisticated textures from the basement lab to the main version of the app.

@mmarissahuang Why don't you just try it? (Telling by a secret — it does 😇)

Congrats on launching such an amazing product! AR-Commerce definitely has a huge potential. Guys, do you plan any more AR apps like this?
Alexander Nevedovsky
Maker
@stacyskur Thanks so much for support and kind words! You came right to the point — we would produce more AR apps like Wanna Nails. AR-Commerce market is impressive, and it would be foolish not to fulfill the demand. Stay tuned for our news!

@nagra__ Thanks for support! Can you please check the name of the website? wanna.by is working properly right now.

AR is coming - imagine trying on 30 colours in 30 seconds without ever applying anything to your nails - this is amazing! App works great and it's also available for Android!

@marina_marynad Yey! Glad to hear that!

Looks awesome. Curious what's the tech stack/tools behind it?

@nickajulia Thanks Nick! We combine classic computer vision approaches and modern deep CNNs. Models are trained locally using TF and PyTorch and run on devices using CoreML (for iOS) and TF Mobile (for Android).

Congrats! Great product! I wonder how small could a library be that does it in a third party app?

@sergey_gonchar I believe we can squeeze it to 1 mb.

Great idea and implementation! As far as I know best Belarusian machine learning specialists are working on this product. So the technology behind is for sure innovative!

@a_krasouski thanks! Sure, AR will radically change interactions between the product and the users. Our team plans a series of AR Commerce products for different segments: beauty, fashion, jewelry!

Great product! How do you plan to monetize this?

@micrum Hi Michael, thank you for supporting our product and for a good question! WANNA NAILS works as an AR-showcase of goods from Amazon and AliExpress. The goods are conveniently grouped in collections by a shopping expert based on fashion trends, price, and quality. Now we are getting purchase comission and develop new monetization trajectories.

@tweetjai We too, thanks for kind words. That's why we have chosen AR-Commerce!
